Awkward situation

Hey guys, I've been thinking about this awkward hypothetical scenario and I'm curious what the community's thoughts are about it. Imagine (and remember, this is just a hypothetical) that you have a sister with a slightly uncommon name. You also have a close friend, maybe even your closest friend, who is dating a girl who has the same name as your sister, but is not your sister. What??? Can you imagine??? Again, this is only hypothetical, but wouldn't that make you so confused, maybe even a little bit angry? What do you even do in that situation? It makes my head hurt just thinking about it. Two different people...same name? I just think it's weird. Anyway, just curious what you guys think. Let me know in the comments.

Nom de guerre ideas?

Bear with me: I'm thinking that if it ever becomes necessary for me to be in some kind of war, or join a militia, or otherwise participate in armed conflict, I should probably have a cool nickname that lets folks know I mean business. So far, my only idea is "Tim Rifle Ronson." I feel like having three names is especially intimidating, and having one of them be a weapon makes it doubly so. The Ronson part is not related to Mark Ronson.

If you have any other ideas, let me know in the comments!

I love Shōgun!

The hit FX miniseries Shōgun has inspired me to be the first boy from Wisconsin to ever see Japan! I will do my best to get a job serving a regional daimyo while also making time to fight those dastardly Portuguese.

#KohlsBoySummer: what is it?  Or perhaps it's easiest to say what it isn't.  #KohlsBoySummer is emphatically not White Boy Summer.  I'm not a fan of this idea from Chet Hanks, or my name isn't Tim Melland!

The most important thing about #KohlsBoySummer is that you kiss your homies!  You gotta' do it!  Consensually of course.  But that's why you're homies!
